Answer 1

Many companies, although each varies, will help with moving expenses for professional level jobs.  Also, some will also pay for, or at least assist, with travel expenses for personal interviews.

If they won't help with that, it is possible to have long-distance interviews.  A graphic design company should have the technology to facilitate this, and you just need to work with the company to arrange this.  

The worst the company can do is say they need a personal interview and will not assist will travel expenses. If that happens, explain that your current situation does not provide the flexibility to arrange that and kindly decline the interview, but leaving open the possibility of a later interview should your financial picture change.

If you have to stay in WI, it's okay. Find a job in your career field near you that will allow you to have a higher earning power than you do now.  Then eventually you will be able to move to TX if you still wish to.

I don't totally know what to tell you that is a tough situation!  I have found a good way to make money on line  though, it's simple and doesn't take much time!  It takes less than 2 hours initially to make $80.00 and then from their all you have to do is tell other about the program and keep getting $80.00 payments! Be sure to choose the $80.00 Custom order!  I completed all my stuff for about $20.00 and will reimbersed $20.00 so I lost nothing.  All you do is sign up and then right down the ID #'s so you can cancel, it only takes about 20 min. to cancel and you get 80 dollars!

Answer 3

Your best bet would be to just go.  Pack the essentials in a uhaul, don't hire a mover (Huge bucks).  Save as much as you can before you go, set a target date.  Don't go in the winter or summer.  Hard in the winter and everyone moves in the summer.  Move there and take any job you can get until you find the one you want.  That way you are there for any interviews that comes up.  RENT.  Don't buy until you know the good areas.
